Adelaide, Apr. 8 : Adelaide Police have said that they are not treating the death of former world champion cyclist Jobie Dajka as suspicious.

The body of the 2002 Commonwealth Games and world championships gold medallist was discovered at his Adelaide home late on Tuesday, Fox Sports reports.

The cause of Dajka''s death is not yet known but it doesn''t appear suspicious, South Australian Police say.

Dajka, who won the world Keirin title and shared the Commonwealth team sprint title, had admitted to alcoholism and depression following his omission from Australia''s 2004 Athens Olympic team for lying to a doping inquiry.

Adelaide, Australia - Australian former cycling world champion Jobie Dajka has been found dead in his home in Adelaide, the TV channel Nine Network said Tuesday.

A cause of death was not given.

The 27-year-old, who won the keirin world championship in 2002 and a year later won the silver medal, had a troubled history since being thrown off the Australian Olympic team in 2004 for lying during an investigation into drug use.

Adelaide, Feb. 10 : The Hussey brothers -- Mike and David -- on Tuesday ensured that the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy would be decided by Friday''s final match in Brisbane after they helped Australia to a six-wicket win that levelled the series 2-2.

For the first time in the series, New Zealand batted first and they posted a moderate 244, which on a good pitch was not enough against an Australian batting order starting to find form.
